Sign our petition for a prohibition of landing Dutch Sharks!

Sharks due not have any commercial value in Dutch fisheries. Unfortunately, the Dutch authorities have come up with a policy, that could be disastrous for sharks: the discard ban, to be introduced in phases, could cause the unnecessary death of these vulnerable species, that can survive catch and release. Most commercial fishers do not support this new measure. Sign our petition
